    Shortest: On my way to NJ the Continental Airlines B752 I was travelling in stopped in Shannon in 2006, but the shortest (actual proper flight) I have been on was a Ryanair B732 from Dublin to Blackpool in 2005.

    The longest I have been on was a Delta B763 from Dublin to Atlanta in 2000.

    Shortest - either Dublin to Shannon (stopover to pick up passangers) or Dublin Liverpool (full scheduled flight) depending on which direction the plane too off (neither was all that recent)

    Longest - Heathrow to Doha

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Managed Manchester to Dublin in 27 mins once. Shortest scheduled was probably Dublin to Shannon multiple times back in the day.

    Longest was probably LAX to Sydney (went to OZ the opposite way from normal)
